"Now in a revised and updated edition, this text demonstrates that moral values and ethical reasoning are indispensable in global politics. Through the use of balanced arguments and a selection of case studies, Amstutz illustrates the role of moral norms in international relations. He presents the concepts, theories, methods, and traditions of ethical analysis and then applies them to case studies in the areas of political reconciliation, human rights, war, unconventional military operations, foreign intervention, economic sanctions, justice among states, and global justice. His study will be of interest to students and practitioners of international affairs who are concerned with the role of political morality and ethical judgment in global affairs."--Jacket
